I have been struggling with a problem with my Microblaze simulation on OVPsim all week. I have been trying to make a start on implementing a simple demand paging system and to trigger the hardware exception that the Microblaze CPU manual says should happen when you either try to read from a mapped page that…

One thought that occurred to me was that the preference of C and similar languages for page aligned memory in certain situations…
